Wiikey's back up: an update

Well, here's some good news for all those modchip">Wiikey fans out there. Thanks to Vertabray and nicks2slick, we found out that the Wiikey site is back up with additional details on why they went offline for a short while, and what else is up with their Wiikey modchip.

According to their website, the site went down for 48 hours due to a hard disk failure. They were able to restore the site from a backup, but lost their MySQL database as a result of the hard disk trouble. They're currently asking resellers to send their information to the Wiikey staff again so they can be included in the list of resellers once again.

More importantly, for all those folks who want to buy Wiikey modchips, it's almost ready for release. Here's the official word from the Wiikey guys about it:

We have received positive news from the developers. The long-awaited upgrade to Wiikey is basically finished, and is now being tested on different systems to ensure that is is working smoothly. We expect that it will be available to the public around May 15.


Good news, right? Expect your modchips to be out of resellers' stock and into your hands in a week or so.

You left out an important part



From wiikey site

"We would also like to point out that making the upgrade incompatible with clones have not caused any delays in the process"

But what is the upgrade supposed to do? What new features does it support? I installed a wiikey in my wii the other day and I'm curious as to what the update actually DOES.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but the Wiikey in my console behind me suggests to me that they are, in fact, already released?

They said something about releasing a new version of the wiikey modchip. It's probably just the same old one with the new firmware loaded and comes with a hologram to let you know it's real and not a clone.
